Written Answers. - Grant Aided Voluntary Bodies.
The Department operates a community development programme, a money advice and budget service, under which projects to tackle the problems of moneylending and overindebtedness are funded, and a number of once-off grant schemes for voluntary and community groups. There was a very large number of individual grants made under these schemes and programmes in 1993 and 1994.
Details of all such grants paid under the various schemes operated by the Department in 1993 were placed in the Oireachtas Library on 4 March 1994. I have now arranged for details of the grants in respect of 1994 to be likewise placed in the Library for the information of members.
